communal bathing

Communal bathing involves individuals bathing together in shared facilities rather than private bathrooms. This practice can occur in spas, public baths, or traditional settings, often emphasizing relaxation, social interaction, or cultural traditions. Facilities typically provide communal tubs, pools, or hot springs, where people bathe separately but in a shared environment. The practice fosters a sense of community and can promote hygiene through collective cleansing routines. While common in many cultures worldwide, privacy considerations vary, and hygiene standards are maintained through regular cleaning and personal hygiene practices.
